We have mixed feelings writing about Pontremoli, the city our family has called home for 250 years. We are torn between keeping our well-kept secret and sharing it with others. But the food is too good and the culture too rich not to spread the word.
Pontremoli—situated in Lunigiana, a region at the intersection of northern Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, and Liguria—has a rich heritage dating back to the Middle Ages. Today, its historical significance is evident in its architectural landmarks, including the impressive Piagnaro Castle, the majestic Cathedral, and numerous palazzos.
